Stair Building

I"m going to tell you today how to build a small stairway. That would include the vocabulary that's used including terms like "tread" "riser" "rise" "run" and "stringer."
We will be cutting our own stringers rather than purchasing them by using a carpenters framing square and a pair of trammel points.
Some important pointers will include how to cut the stringers, how to secure the top and bottom of each stringer and how to line up several stringers together.
Finally we will attach the steps or treads as they are called and the risers made from Trex brand plastic decking and attach handrails.

You are great at describing how to build them. I have often wondered how to calculate the rise and run for steps and you guys rock

Thanks , sorry about all that background noise.

That turned out excellent! Was not expecting 5 stringers...I guess that ensures these steps are strong and well supported. I appreciate the proverb at the end and I'm glad you're happy!

Good stuff Bob- I’m sure this will come in handy for me some day. After watching your faux brick panels video, I installed my own with some of your tips and launched my own tutorial. Take a look if you get some time! Thanks again
